Yo. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, the SCP Foundation is a collaborative fiction website dedicated to cataloguing dangerous paranormal anomalies within the custody of the eponymous Foundation. Entries range from the mildly unsettling (http://www.scp-wiki.net/your-very-first-scp) to accounts of triumph at great cost (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1983) to varying degrees of oh we are all so boned.

So with that in mind, has anybody else here been watching Confinement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRoIU6lADn8)? I think it's rather good, albeit slow to update. Nicely encapsulates the absurdist/kafkaesque overtones of the series.

There's also a very well-done machinima, First Contact (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4ShfODnvns). Surprisingly light on direct gore, with much more of a slow-buildup, brooding-dread, blair-witch-esque approach.

I actually thought that first one was genuinely a new writing guide and though what a cool way of doing it that was...

Oh, it genuinely is part of the site's series of writing guides. It's just also a meta-level SCP. Brilliant, isn't it?

Door Monster made a very funny sketch about SCP

Link for mobiles, I guess? (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=giCjElyPS9A)

Checking Containment. Any reason you didn't link to Ep1? :-)

I think Confinement hits it's stride with Ep2, and you don't really need Ep1 to get the gist of the setup.

Oh- SCP Sedition also does a rather nice/creepy series of interview videos- my current favourite is with SCP-035 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MU7s8zTDtk). (Even if I think 682 is generally overrated.)
